Review by Bowmore

Colour

treacle dark amber

Nose

delicious dark chocolate, rich, dark fruits and a tell-tale wisp of Islay smoke

Palate

wonderful cedar wood and rich treacle toffee

Finish

robust and warming with a hint of sherry tannin

Note

Matured in a combination of both specially selected North American bourbon casks and the finest Oloroso sherry casks. The final three years spent maturing in sherry oak casks give this whisky the rich, deep colour echoed in its name. Bowmore 15 Years Old has attracted many accolades, including from Paul Pacult of The Spirit Journal who holds it aloft as "a clinic on how to finish a malt in sherry casks".

Tasting Tip: Our Bowmore 15 Years Old "Darkest" has real warmth and depth. Warm the glass in your hands before sipping to bring out the classic Bowmore smokiness, dark chocolate and raisin aromas.
